Wonderful News!!


We have been to our pediatrician and a few specialists to check out our sweet girls. They are getting all their immunizations redone, and of course all the standard tests, poor girls. They didn't even cry when they received their first set of immunizations, OUCH!
Their medical records from China indicate that Sage tested positive for Hep. B. We were aware of this and did some research, and felt very comfortable bringing these girls home.
Well, we received some wonderful news this morning from Dr. B at Primary Children's. According to recent tests, the Hep. B is not in her bloodstream anymore. I almost cried right there in the doctor's office when she said this.
What great news! Of course, we will keep an eye on it all, and she is due back in one year for a check up, but for now, she is a healthy, happy, playful little girl. What an answer to prayers!!
We have been very happy to see how healthy, well cared for, and well adjusted these girls are- after living in an orphanage for their first three years of life. They do fear strangers and love to be close to mom and dad, or brothers, at all times (which we secretly love). They eat well, sleep great, play well, and love deeply. They are just a joy and we love them to pieces!
They both have hernea's and will need surgery for that in December :(.
